I have no friends. jk
When ever my friends make fun of anime, I just tell them to not bash it before they've tried it. Half of them try it, the other half shut up. The ones who do try it ususally grow to love it.

Since i live in england most of my friends are not that intersted in anime and some even thinks they are childish since they only know animes like pokemon etc so i just want some opinion from others ^__^
